» Steve
Everyone seems to know by now that Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, died yesterday.
I’ve had this entry open all day, trying to think what to say about it. It’s not like I knew him, but he was one of my favorite people in the world. It’s just…surreal. The thought that there will never be a new episode. That I’ll never get my secret shameful fangirl wish of seeing him at Australia Zoo. The thought of his family is devastating. Their loss.
I don’t — I miss him. I’m against this. He can’t be dead. He’s Steve.

You know, you were the first person I thought of when I heard the news. Halfway through my mom’s telling of the story I felt a little clench in my stomach, knowing how heartbroken you’d be when you found out. And I know it doesn’t help at all, telling you that, but I truly am so sorry.
